Granted: 1908-06-17
Abstract: 11,541. Hatfield, H. S. May 17. Current and quantity meters.-In a maximum demand indicator, in which a non-return pointer is actuated by a worm-wheel 4 and shaft 3 connected to the train of a motor meter, the shaft 3 is lifted at definite intervals, to allow a spring 7 to re-set the wheel 4, by a solenoid 9 connected in series or parallel with the winding solenoid 17 of an electric clock. To allow time for the resetting, the solenoid core is connected to a push-rod 12 through a spring and lifts the shaft 3 up to a stop, and the return of the core is retarded by a dash-pot 11. The solenoid 9 may be arranged to operate less frequently than the winding solenoid 17 by connecting it to brushes 21, 22 bearing on a commutator 16 driven by the clock ; the solenoid is short-circuited through the conducting segments of the commutator, the remainder being disconnected permanently or by means of screws.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Finding True Magnetic Divergence, applicable also for Finding Geographical Divergence
Inventor: DUNOYER LOUIS DOMINIQUE JOSEPH
Filed: 1907-08-16
Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 18,571. Dunoyer, L. D. J. A. Aug. 16, 1906, [date applied for under Patents, Act, 1901]. Bearings, instruments for determining.-In an apparatus for finding true magnetic divergence, two exactly similar earth inductor coils are mounted side by side on a rotatable frame A, and connected to two galvanometers G, G<1> through split commutator rings a, band brushes c, d, either the commutator rings or the pairs of brushes being displaced angularly from one another by 90 degrees, for the purpose of producing deflexions in the galvanometer proportional to two rectangular components of the earth's horizontal field. The galvanometers are arranged with their axes of rotation at right-angles in an horizontal plane, and their mirrors reflect images of two threads or luminous filaments F placed at right-angles, on a translucent plate P, which has a vector scale marked with the points of the compass. The point of intersection of the two images when the frame A is rotated indicates the divergence of the ships course from the magnetic meridian, or from the geographical meridian, the plate P in the latter case being rotated through an angle equal to the magnetic declinatiou. The invention is a development of that of Specification No. 4609, A.D. 1907.

Granted: 1908-03-19
Abstract: 27,839. Orr, F. L. Feb. 6, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas or explosivevapour engines, starting. A combined compressedair engine and pump is used to start stationary or mobile engines, and to recharge the compressed-air reservoir when the engine has been started. The preferred form of apparatus comprises a cylinder A, mounted to oscillate on a shaft C and provided with ports M, N, connected by flexible pipes to the compressed-air reservoir E'. The piston-rod is connected to a crank I, loosely mounted on the shaft of the main engine but adapted to be fixed thereto by a suitable clutch K. To start the engine, the two-way cock O<1> is manipulated to put the pipe M<1> into communication with the atmosphere at R', and the valve I' is held off its seat by pressure applied to the stem J<1>, thereby admitting compressed air from the reservoir to the upper or lower side of the piston, according to the position of the valves Q, R. The piston is caused to complete its stroke and thus communicates motion to the crank-shaft I, and also rocks the cylinder about its pivot. The movement of the cylinder operates the pivoted links S, U, V and reverses the valves, so that the piston is reciprocated continuously in the usual manner, and the spent air is exhausted through the port R<1>. When the engine is started, the valve I<1> is released, and the valve O<1> is turned into the position shown. The piston then draws air through the cylinder valves A<1>, C<1>, and delivers it through the valves O<1>, H<1> to charge the reservoir.

To assist further in holding the parts rigidly in position, a Bowden cord f may be attached at f to the inner member of each arm and to the link k, the enclosing-tube f<3> for the cord being secured to the outer member of the arm at f<4> and to the link l.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Cutting Tapered Screw Threads.
Inventor: HARRISON GEORGE
Filed: 1908-03-21
Granted: 1908-08-27
Abstract: 6362. Harrison, G., [Hart Manufacturing Co.]. March 21. [Patent of Addition to No. 25,714, A.D. 1907.] Screwing.-In an apparatus of the kind described in Specification No. 25,714, A.D. 1907, for cutting tapered screw-threads on pipes &c., the die-holder is brought into position in the work-holding member ready for cutting, and is retained in this position during clamping to the work, by the engagement of a spring-pressed plunger on one of the relatively rotatable and longitudinally movable members with a. notch or groove in the other member. The lead for the beginning of the cut is given either by the engagement of the spring- plunger with a cam-groove, or by the engagement of a stop in the fixed member with a cam-ring on the movable member. In the form-shown in Fig. 3, a spring-pressed plunger b<5> guided by a pin b<8> is mounted in the die-holder B<2>, which is rotatable and longitudinally movable in the work-holding member A. The plunger b<5> engages a recess b<6> in the rider bar B<5>, which engages a groove a<3> in the member A and carries a log b<4> for engaging the stop controlling the automatic recession of the chasers, which is fixed to the operating-cam D, which is rotated by the pressure of the dies. The groove is V-shaped and the end of the plunger is similarly shaped, but is flattened and not exactly in alinement so as to take up play between the parts. A pin b7 is provided on the rider bar which comes in contact with the flange B<2> to limit the longitudinal movement. The plunger may be mounted in the work-holder A and engage a V-groove in the sleeve-part B<1> of the die-holder. In Figs. 5 and 6, the plunger is mounted in the work-holder, and engages a concave recess in the sleeve B', and to give a lead, a lug a<1> on the work-holding member A engages a cam-face a<5> on a ring A<1> fixed to the sleeve B<2>. An indicator for determining the axial position of the die holder consists of a boss a<8> which alines with the rider bar in the desired position. In the form shown in Fig. 10, the plunger engages a cam-groove in the sleeve, one end of the cam-groove terminating abruptly to limit the movement of the plunger, and the other end of the groove being inclined to allow the plunger to ride on to the surface of the sleeve when the initial lead is given. Oil pockets b<15>, Fig. 3, are provided in the die-head, the oil being admitted through holes b<16> which do not directly enter the pockets.

Filed: 1909-08-06
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 18,203. Bender, O. Aug. 6. Nitrogen oxides ; sulphuric acid. - In a process for the production of nitrogen oxides by the combustion of fuel producing considerable quantities of water on combustion, the fuel is converted into gas in a furnace, and the gas is burnt above the layer of fuel by supplying an excess of oxygen or a mixture of oxygen or nitrogen, the resulting gases, containing nitrogen oxides, being cooled to separate water by means arranged to prevent the condensed water from flowing back into the reaction chamber. The supply of oxygen &c. may consume a further part of the ungasified fuel, and it is convenient to supply an excess such that the reaction-gases contain from 10-20 per cent of oxygen in addition to from 20-40 per cent of carbonic acid. The heat of the gases may be utilized for steam-raising by first cooling to such an extent that no water is liberated. Any sulphur in the fuel is converted into sulphur trioxide, and finally into sulphuric acid, which can be separated.
